First choice would be a nordic country. They generally rank high up in metrics like health, happiness, etc....

Close second behind those would be New Zealand.

Yep, that's my list too. My nephew went to NZ but I've been to a few nordics and I can confirm life is easier there. More taxes, way better life: economies of scale, my dood.

The best one I've seen is the one with the deceptively harsh name that implies a place no one wants to visit. It's great PR. Go there. It's pricy as hell if you try to live like an American with the fast food and flash, but just live, and you'll find a vibrant lifestyle and real happiness.

Yep, nordics are the happiest places on earth.

Hi I live in one of the Nordic country.you are right , if you want a serene, calm, without hiccups life , this is the place to be, excellent for spending your retirement years, and enjoy nature. BUT life here is long and boring, agreed you won't live like AMERICAN lifestyle here but as you said you just live, there is no excitement, the long dark winters even down in southern parts of countries are unbearable sometimes, there is less you can do, yesterday I saw restaurant about 49 minutes away from me , for specific radler beer at around 7 o clock and I knew I could go there because it was in other nearby city, I knew if I went now I won't be able to back at my home since buses/trains will stop. Lot of out people who come to work on Monday , take a flight and if they reach anything after 8pm , they stay in big city just because there is no train in midnight. It's manageable, silence is deafning , life pace is less than crawl and YOU need vitamin D from day 1.
